I bought Superman II: The Richhard Donner Cut yesterday at the local BB, and it was $2 cheaper (23.95 vs 25.95 CDN) then the Regular DVD Version! Result! Now only wish it was a combo, I would have paid $2 more. The kids would then be able to watch it in the car then.

Yeah I like the theatrical cut much better. I was decidedly unimpressed by this (first time I can say that for either HD-DVD or Blu-ray), but I blame that on the age of the film and it's SFX and the particular edit/cut rather than anything due to this being an HD-DVD.

I believe a lot of the look is due to the soft filters used in the photography (the original Superman, shot at the same time, has a similar look). With this disc, however, there are some scenes that were patched together. For example, in the hotel scene where a screen test was used, there's a shot (maybe more than one) which is very blurry. I think that's due to them having to crop and blow up the footage to get a close-up out of it.

The most noticable (for me) was that the bit in the FoS at the end of the movie mixed together Donner and Lester footage; the Lester used white light while the Donner stuff used a blue light. Couldn't they at least have tried to tint the color of those bits to match the rest of the scene?
